Video of the SC'd C43

Took the car out of storage the other day for a quick drive. I would have hung it sideways but the ESP program isn't on because my whole dash is out for CF. Don't want to kill the camera person.

Great vid, man.. I should probably do one of mine sometime soon..

This past weekend, I was told the SC sounded like a baby getting ready to cry from inside the car.. Maybe that's what i'll do..

I've got a few more vids at home I'll try to post up. Come spring I'll get some fun videos once I have a few things put back together. As far as 1/4 mile goes I can't believe I never got to the track last summer. Counting the days this year. I do know it runs a sub 5sec 0-60 without a problem.

Glad you guys are entertained. Its the best thing I've ever owned.

Ha Ha! CRS syndrome. C an't R emember S hit. I'm not alone.

BD: have you dynoed your car independantly from HPS if you installed it there? Both myself and my bud Mario(E55) have this same system and used an adjustable FMU to better the A/F ratio as it was a bit lean. He picked up around 30-40hp with fixing the A/F. You may have a little more to wring out of that system with a little manual tunning. My car made 370 wheel torque which is probably why it pulls from a dig so well. If your interested you can PM me as there are a few other things that I have set up different with my system that improved it a bit.

I'm sorry, not the whole dash. Just the dash/door trim or the wood pieces. I have a friend who makes CF assemblies for medical equip. He wraped a few pieces on his bike and it was flawless. I hope for the same. If I bring him beer this weekend I should have them back in a few weeks and I'll post pics.

HAHA.. CRS.. I think I suffer from that daily.. Mainly during work hours..

Nah, I haven't dyno'd the car yet. I bought the car with the system already in place, so I have no basis for comparison.. I do plan on putting it on the dyno in the near future, just to see what it's like, but i'll probably change out the plugs first, it's about time.. I'll be video-taping it of course.. Anyone know of a decent place to dyno in the San Jose area?

PM coming.. And too bad you're all the way across the country..

**HPS**
